In recent years, Pakistani Christians have continued to face escalating levels of persecution, discrimination, and violence. From blasphemy accusations to targeted attacks and systemic marginalization, the challenges are severe and widespread. Yet, despite these grim realities, international attention often falls short, and the global community remains under-informed and under-engaged.
This is where the need for a strong, organized, and united advocacy network becomes vital. The Pakistani Christian Advocacy Network International (PCANI) was established to bridge this gap. Our goal is to empower diaspora communities and allies across the globe to stand in solidarity, amplify the voices of the persecuted, and work collectively for lasting change.
An effective global advocacy network offers several key benefits. First, it ensures that the stories and struggles of Pakistani Christians are heard in important policy-making circles, including international human rights forums, the United Nations, and government institutions. Through policy papers, organized meetings, and lobbying efforts, PCANI is pushing for tangible action and legal protections.
Second, a unified network provides a platform for collaboration. Pakistani Christians living in the United States, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and beyond can connect, share resources, and support each other. This kind of solidarity is essential for building long-term resilience and creating a powerful collective voice.
Finally, such a network promotes visibility and global awareness. By launching awareness campaigns, hosting webinars, and publishing reports, PCANI shines a light on ongoing injustices and pressures decision-makers to act.
At a time when silence can be deadly, unity is our most powerful tool. PCANI invites all individuals, churches, and organizations who care about justice and human rights to join us in this mission.
